Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root verb מָשָׁה (mashah), meaning "to draw out."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3475 (Μωϋσῆς, Mōusēs): This is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew name Mosheh, used in the New Testament to refer to Moses. The name appears in various contexts, including references to the Law of Moses and his role as a prophet and leader.

Usage: Mosheh is a proper noun used as the name of the central prophet and leader in the Hebrew Bible, known in English as Moses. He is a pivotal figure in the narrative of the Exodus, the giving of the Law, and the journey to the Promised Land.

Context: • Moses in the Hebrew Bible: Moses is one of the most significant figures in the Hebrew Bible, serving as a prophet, lawgiver, and leader of the Israelites. His story is primarily found in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Moses is born to Hebrew parents during a time of Egyptian oppression and is famously placed in a basket on the Nile River to save him from Pharaoh's decree to kill all Hebrew male infants. He is discovered and adopted by Pharaoh's daughter, growing up in the Egyptian royal household.
• Call and Mission: Moses encounters God in the form of a burning bush on Mount Horeb, where he is commissioned to lead the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage. Despite initial reluctance, Moses becomes the central figure in the Exodus narrative, performing miracles and confronting Pharaoh until the Israelites are freed.
• The Lawgiver: Moses is instrumental in the reception of the Law at Mount Sinai, where he receives the Ten Commandments and other laws that form the foundation of Israelite religion and society. He acts as a mediator between God and the people, ensuring the covenant is established.
• Leadership and Legacy: Throughout the wilderness journey, Moses leads the Israelites, dealing with challenges and rebellions. He is known for his humility and close relationship with God, often interceding on behalf of the people. Moses' leadership is marked by significant events such as the parting of the Red Sea, the provision of manna, and the construction of the Tabernacle.
• Death and Succession: Moses' life concludes with his view of the Promised Land from Mount Nebo, though he is not permitted to enter it. He dies at the age of 120, and his leadership is succeeded by Joshua. Moses is remembered as a prophet unparalleled in his intimacy with God and his role in shaping the identity and faith of Israel.
